little boy. His aged grandmother, whose

read the morning paper out loud to her.
Instead Of reading straight along, be
skipped from one item to another, thereby
confusing the old lady very much. He
read:
"Her Majesty having listened attentively
to the address OF the Lord Mayor. she
proceeded TO lay the corner stone with the
silver trowel, when a sudden gust Of wind
threw her on her beam ends"
"W-h-a-t?" gasped Johnny's grand.
mother.
"Yes, it's just as l read: "A sudden gust
OF wind threw her IN her beam ends, aud
she Immediately filled and sunk in ten
fathoms of water" e.
Dear me. how dreadful! Well. she has
made England a good Queen, and she has
been q virtuous widow for many years.
